Hollywood celebrities have ramped up demands for gun control in the wake of Monday’s shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee which left six dead, including three children.
The shooter, who is also dead, is identified as Audrey Hale, a member of the transgender community who identified as he/him. According to reports, Hale had previously attended the Christian school as well.
Hollywood Stars calling for more gun control following the Christian school shooting included Julianne Moore, Mia Farrow, Sandra Bernhard, Ethan Embry, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
“BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW!” Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted in all caps.
“#BanAssaultWeapons We owe this to our children and our fellow human beings,” Mia Farrow wrote.
“You can not support law enforcement while making common sense gun legislation impossible to pass,” Ethan Embry tweeted.
The shooter, who was armed with two rifles and a handgun, entered the school through a side entrance before carrying out the attack.
“Officers entered the first story of the school, began clearing it, they heard shots coming second level, they immediately went to the gunfire,” said Metro Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron.
“When the officers got to the second level, they saw a shooter, a female, who was firing. The officers engaged her, and she was fatally shot by responding police officers.”
According to a report from Trending Politics News, the transgender shooter had a manifesto, and the shooting was a direct targeted attack.
The police chief said, “We have a manifesto. We have some writing we’re going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident. We have a map drawn out of how this all was going to take place. There’s right now a theory that we may be able to talk about later, but it’s not confirmed.”
A reporter asked, “And Chief, is there any reason to believe that how she identifies is a motive for targeting the school?
“We can give you that at a later time. There is some theory to that,” the Chief said.
Another reporter asked, “So was this a targeted attack?”
“It was,” he said.
